Weird eggs on collards #874268

Asked June 23, 2024, 10:34 AM EDT

Hi Master Gardeners, I found these eggs on my collards. Any idea what they are? They're in slime, almost like frog eggs...but they can't be frogs, right? Thanks for any help you can give!

Those appear to be white cabbage butterfly eggs. Destructive pest
